Beauty Empties #3!

So here we go...more empties...



Molton Brown Gingerlily Body Wash
This smells so good! The scent reminds me of a luxurious hotel! I would definitely recommend the body washes from Molton Brown!



Batiste Original Dry Shampoo 
I was gifted this dry shampoo. I have used Batiste dry shampoos for many years but I have never tried the original version. The mini ones are definitely great for travelling, and the product isn't too bad for the price I guess. However you have to be quite careful when using Batiste dry shampoos because they can leave a white residue behind.



L'Oreal Absolute Make-Up Remover
This is a holy-grail product for me. I have used it for many years and will continue to do so.



Garnier Oil-Infused Nourishing Scrub
This is gradually becoming a cult product for me too. I love the scent. It smells luxurious and so...nutty. It definitely helps remove those dead skin cells and is pleasant to use.

L'Occitane Daily Use Shampoo - with Organic Verbena Extract!


This is probably the second shampoo I have tried from L'Occitane. I have used a few of their products and I have liked them. I initially went into the store looking for a different shampoo but they didn't have it, so I ended up getting this one instead. According to the sales assistant, this shampoo is good for those with oily hair. First of all, I think the packaging is cute. I like how it has a see-through bottle so you can see how much is left, unlike many shampoo bottles. It has a citrus scent which I quite like. The consistency of the shampoo is very different to your typical shampoo. I would say that it is quite runny/watery which I think is great. It makes lathering so much easier. It is a good shampoo for daily use, but I wouldn't say that it has helped with my oily hair. However, it isn't bad for a shampoo and does leave my hair feeling soft. I have enjoyed using it.

This Works: Daily Boost Body Scrub.



So I was looking for any old body scrub in Boots and I came across this one! Is it me or are body scrubs really limited in drugstores? Anyway, I thought I'd give this one a try seeing as I've never used anything from This Works and it seems to be quite popular online. As for the scent, you'll either like it or hate it. I personally think it's quite pleasant, but in a strange way. You'll get what I mean when you have a sniff yourself. The body scrub has a weird texture. There are very small beads yet when you apply it onto your body, it feels smooth. Anyhow, it's definitely gentle enough to be used on a daily basis and I did to some extent felt that my skin became smoother after using the product. However, I expected more as it's not the cheapest of body scrubs.

L'Oreal Paris Renewal Lash Serum.


Yes, I am the typical Chinese girl with REALLY short eyelashes! It's so annoying because no matter what mascara I use, my eyelashes still remain short and straight!

I bought this product a long time ago when I was shopping in Malaysia but never really did a review on it so I thought why not do one today! It is a lot more affordable compared to a lot of other eyelash enhancing serums than I have currently seen in drugstores.

When I first used the product, I was really excited to see what kind of results I would get! Unfortunately, my eyelashes have not grown. Whilst using this product, I did however feel that my eyelashes were "stronger" but I felt that more eyelashes were falling out than usual. I'm not quite sure whether that was part of the renewal process but I got worried so I soon stopped using the serum.

I wouldn't say that I regret buying L'Oreal's renewal lash serum as I'm always looking forward to trying new things. However, it's one of those products that you sometimes forget to use and end up putting aside. You're supposed to use such items continuously but I just got way too lazy! I ended up using it whenever I remembered to or felt like doing so!

Review: Creme de La Mer - The Tonic!


Soooo...I decided to go all out and treat my skin to some Creme de La Mer toner! The toner smells lovely and is gentle on the skin! The bottle lasted me for around two months and during this period, I noticed that my skin felt softer than usual. I've always had a problem with choosing toners as there are so many on the market and a lot of them seem to contain a lot of alcohol, which my skin does not like.

The packaging is kept nice and simple here, but recently the brand has changed the packaging of quite a few of its products (it looks better)!

I would say that this toner is suitable for most skin types. If you have really oily skin, I would suggest using the oil absorbing tonic instead as the tonic tends to be more moisturising and therefore, it might be too much for those who have very oily skin. However, you could try using a lighter moisturiser if you want to use the tonic (that is if you have oily skin).

This toner is definitely a good product, however, do not expect it to control those breakouts. It simply tones the skin and gives it a healthy glow.

My skin seemed to like the tonic and it is definitely a product I would consider repurchasing. The only downside to it is its high price tag! I guess looking after your skin comes at a high cost!

RMK Firming Essence Review!


I've already been through a couple of bottles! Originally I wanted to purchase the "brightening" version of this but RMK stopped selling it as they were having issues with the product. This firming essence may sound as if it's only suitable for older individuals but I personally think that it's a good product. It has definitely kept my skin moisturised. Usually, I will get the occasional dry patch on my face (usually around my nose) when winter arrives but this hasn't happened lately *touch wood*.

I must also comment on the scent of this product! Normally I don't care too much about the scent of products, as long as they don't stink! However, this one just goes unnoticeable! It smells really nice! It definitely is RMK's nicest smelling skincare product to date!

The packaging of the product is good too! I like how it's in a glass bottle as it feels more luxurious. It's great how it has a pump too! I hate it when I have to dig into a moisturiser tub! I find it so unhygienic!

As I have oily skin, applying this as well as a toner and sunscreen can sometimes be a little heavy for my skin so it's important that you don't apply too much if you have the same problem! However, this won't stop me from purchasing the product in future!

Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream Review!


This little tub has lasted me ages! I personally think that it's a good eye cream! It's hydrating and absorbs quickly! I hate it when eye creams are thick/greasy. This Bobbi Brown eye cream is lightweight which makes it a good base for your eye make up! However, don't expect it to get rid off those panda eyes because it ain't going to happen! It was simply made to keep the under eye area nice and hydrated. This was my first time using a product from the Bobbi Brown skincare line. I shall look forward to trying more of their products in the near future. May I also say that I like their packaging! It's simple, yet chic!

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara!


It isn't often that I use up a whole tube of mascara! I actually really liked this mascara and I would definitely consider buying another one in future. It's great for those with really really short eyelashes, like myself. They don't make my eyelashes appear that much longer but I do feel that it helps open up the eye(s). Also, I like how it is waterproof. It actually doesn't smudge easily. I personally prefer using waterproof mascaras as I have really oily eyelids. My eyes tend to get teary quite often too. All in all, a good drugstore mascara. It's worth it.

Product Of The Day: VO5 Revive Me Daily 2 in 1.


I just love 2-in-1 products! This shampoo is great for lazy people like myself. It saves time as you don't have to condition your hair after washing it blah blah blah. I remember buying this for a good price and it wasn't too bad as a shampoo either. It just does what shampoos are meant to do I guess.
